Kennett Peterson. Straight Baller.

You may have seen this photo floating around the interwebz as of late:

Time Trial Freestyle

There’s a story behind it, and I heard it this morning when I went to work. First off, this is not photoshopped. Second, if you could see this man’s face, you’d realize it’s the same guy featured on Drunkcyclist a few weeks ago. I’ll let you guess which one he is.

So the story, from the horse’s mouth, goes like this:

At Sea Otter last week, Kennett (the flying time trialer) was getting ribbed by some mountain bikers. They were making fun of him for being a roadie, and they were calling him Lancie Pants…you know, implying that he was a bitch. A lady. A nancy.

Not one to back down from a stupid decision…err…challenge, Kennett climbed up to the top of the ramp… and launched it. That in itself is pretty badass, but it’s made even more badass by a few facts:

That is definitely bad-ass. That said, the shit-talking about one cyclist being a roadie, and another a mountain biker should just cease. Who cares. We’re ALL cyclists who love to f*cking pedal bikes for f*cks sake. Sure, some roadies are snotty bastards, just like there are asshole mountain bikers but certainly not all of them are jerks. Pedal on.

That my friends is our lovable Kennett Peterson. Nurtured in OBRA we set him loose upon the world. KP is like Mikey in the old life cereal commercials- he’ll try anything. Goofy and a good guy. Real heart o’ gold. Three thumbs up man!
